As for the crime-ridden drama series, "The Following," Kevin Bacon's iconic thriller will return for an action-packed third season.

Fox bosses Kevin Reilly and Joe Earley released a joint statement, saying, "These shows are some of the best and acclaimed series on television, with influential, culture-driving stars, and some of the best, most creative talent behind the camera. All four are core assets within our 2014-2015 portfolio of content, and we're really happy to bring them back to our Fox fans for another season."

Reports also state that "Glee" is set to return for a sixth season, although "The X Factor" will not return for a fourth season, as Simon Cowell will go back to the UK to sponsor a British rendition of the show.
